O-Pee-Chee Blowout Pack 7

LAST ONE! Everyone can go party now that I'm done with O-Pee Chee.

199 Jorge Campillo

148 Kevin Gregg black

NY-1 CC Sabathia Yankee Stadium

574 Phil Coke Rookie DP

426 Justin Verlander

For those keeping score at home, that's 7 Braves in 9 packs. What are the odds? Looks like I'm building a Braves Team set at the very least. Is anyone else sick of Yankee Rookie pitchers?

Sean Henn, Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy and now Phil Coke. Just go away already. Speaking of the Damn Yankees, why are the Yankee Stadium tribute cards glossy and over twice as thick as the other cards? All I can figure is that they are some sort of weird decoy card for the relics. And we finish up with:

Yeah, OPC randomly inserts "dummy" cards to fool pack searchers going for the case hit. I think triple swatch cards are one every three boxes and autos are one in six?The hockey had a Winter Classic set in it for that purpose.And what better dummy card than a Yankee?

Note on the Blogroll

If you have a blog, and it ain't on here, LET ME KNOW! There are a lot of good blogs I'm missing out on. I'm also very forgetful and sometimes forget to put it on the list even if I do find a good one. If your blog is about cards or trading or sports in general I'll fit it in, but don't try to sneak your blog about politics or cats or crop rotation in the 14th century on here.
